Excerpt from America and Germany Their Mutual Relations It was in the opening years of the 19th century that Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said to his friend the Counsellor von Mueller, "Germany is nothing, but every individual German is much, and yet the Germans mistakenly imagine the reverse. The German people must be transplanted over the face of the whole earth, like the ancient Jews, in order to fully develop the good that is in them for the salvation of the nations." So contemptuously thought the greatest mind Germany has ever produced of the political aspirations of his countrymen!

Excerpt from The Germans in the United States The history of the Germans in the United States is too comprehensive a subject for a brief sketch. Yet the bare' outlines of a portrait often impress the characteristic features more vividly than color and detail. The history of the Germans in this country goes back to the earliest colonial period. Recurrent waves in the eighteenth were followed by great tides of German immigration in the nineteenth century, and these carried into the population of the United States an element second in amount only to the contribution of the English stock.

Excerpt from America and Britain, the Story of the Relations, Between Two Peoples B Iassimilated or is being assimilated to a type as uniform as that of any other people. But the fact that our people are of mixed origin does not mean that our nation is a conglomerate or that our Civilization culture is a compromise between different 1101001119191 contributing elements. Our language, for instance, is not a medley of English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Syrian, and the like. It is English, the other languages being represented at most by a few scattering words which rapidly become anglicized beyond recognition. And the same is true of all that is essential in our political and social institutions. The influence of the French, Spanish, and Dutch can be traced in our laws and customs, but only locally and in matters of detail, much as in our speech. Even where their language and institutions have a certain independent existence, as in Louisiana and New Mex ico, they are clearly losing ground. Those who speak French or Spanish speak English also, or are learning to do so. Only the British speech and British institu tions have been able to persist, to enlarge their terri tory, and to absorb or suppress competing systems. It is therefore perfectly correct to say that our country and, our civilization are of British origin, the non-british elements of our population hav ing failed to maintain their earlier type and allowed themselves to be assimilated to a type essentially British.

National Book Award Finalist: Never before has the mentality of the average German under the Nazi regime been made as intelligible to the outsider.” —The New York TImes They Thought They Were Free is an eloquent and provocative examination of the development of fascism in Germany. Milton Mayer’s book is a study of ten Germans and their lives from 1933-45, based on interviews he conducted after the war when he lived in Germany. Mayer had a position as a research professor at the University of Frankfurt and lived in a nearby small Hessian town which he disguised with the name “Kronenberg.” These ten men were not men of distinction, according to Mayer, but they had been members of the Nazi Party; Mayer wanted to discover what had made them Nazis. His discussions with them of Nazism, the rise of the Reich, and mass complicity with evil became the backbone of this book, an indictment of the ordinary German that is all the more powerful for its refusal to let the rest of us pretend that our moment, our society, our country are fundamentally immune. A new foreword to this edition by eminent historian of the Reich Richard J. Evans puts the book in historical and contemporary context. We live in an age of fervid politics and hyperbolic rhetoric. They Thought They Were Free cuts through that, revealing instead the slow, quiet accretions of change, complicity, and abdication of moral authority that quietly mark the rise of evil.

Excerpt from Germany and the United States To be a patriotic American citizen is to be also a friend to democracy and humanity, as well as a strong peace advocate. All such citizens are standing firmly with Pres ident Wilson in the controversy with Germany and thor oughly approve of his demand that she show some respect for international law, cease her attacks on peaceful mer chant vessels and quit assassinating American citizens. It is thought that the crisis that arose over the de struction of the Arabic has passed and there will be a satisfactory settlement of it. The German embassador at Washington has assured the United States government that no more such outrages will occur. If Germany really means to comply with President Wilson's demand, it marks a radical change in the meth ods and conduct of her submarine warfare against Eng land, neutral commerce and against humanity. Her war on the sea, however, differs not at all from her war on land and in the air. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
